RE: Allow regular user to unlock screensaver locked computer

So far all I can find is a third party application ( Unlock
Administrator http://www.e-motional.com/ULAdmin.htm ) This program
seems to do the trick but I obviously would prefer to do this through
GP.


Note: I don't want to let just anyone to unlock the computer - I want
to be able to select only some users.


Any suggestions?

You'll need to make them admins on the machines. You can create a
Security Group within AD and add the users you want to the group. Then
you can apply that group to the Local Administrators group on the
computers in question. Then your users will be able to unlock those
specific systems.
